A Better Title

The past few days have been pretty hectic, as always, but I sure did learn a lot. Here are some highlights of what happened the past few days.

My NTU tutor went to the company to collect my report and logbook. It also marks the end of my academic responsibility for the industrial attachment (IA) program. From then on it would be just me and the company! Yay! Oh yeah, and I’m extending my IA for a month to complete the tool that I am developing there, but from now on there will be no more logbook or reports to do.

It was BlogOut! The event was not too bad considering it was the first time it was being organised by the folks at The Digital Movement. However one grouse I had was that in the beginning, people didn’t seem to pay attention to the emcee, and speakers. Perhaps like some people pointed out, it was because of the environment which was more conducive for discussion, which was apparent in the latter discussion segment that went pretty well.

It was half day at work! The next half day was spent at Qian Hu fish farm, and I did live mobile blogging at my moblog. Do check out some of the archived entries and let me know of your comments. Dinner was at Ellenborough Market Cafe, Swissôtel Merchant Court, courtesy of the company. The buffet was great, with a wide selection of food from all over the world such as the very fresh sashimi, chicken masala, to seabass. I had free-flow iced tea, and had my first try at beer. Unfortunately, until now I still can’t understand what’s so good about beer.

I went down to NTU after that for VillageTalk, and was just in time for the last two speakers. Unfortunately, they were talking about politics, and I was too tired to actually listen attentively anyway. I can’t wait to see the videos later when they’re uploaded, heard from the rest that the other speakers are very inspiring.

Then I sent Nicole home, and had my first try at riding the Night Rider service. Normally I’ve been taking cabs from her house whenever it was too late to take MRT, but one trip on a cab can easily cost me up to $27 after midnight. These days I have to scrimp a little bit as I foresee myself having some financial difficulties soon.

I took NR7 from Tampines Interchange with the intention of switching to 174M at City Hall, as it goes directly to my house. I realised that NR7 passed by Nicole’s neighbourhood, so the next time I take NR7, I could take from the bus stop at her neighbourhood instead of the interchange. But alas when I reached City Hall, I couldn’t find the stop for 174M. So I took NR5 instead which goes to my neighbourhood (I stay on Jurong West St. 91, but the bus goes to St. 81), and decided to hijack the bus and force the uncle to go to my house walk home. I managed to get lost for a while before giving up and hailing a cab. Apparently I’d been walking the wrong direction all the while. All in all the trip costed me $11.

(to be continued…)
